Startup legal setup and part-time in-house support, all in one service.
Your in house legal function, delivering startup and scale-up solutions
Whether you are just launching or scaling fast, our Fractional General Counsel service gives you access to the right legal solution at the right time with two main solutions:
Our Startup Package and Legal Secondments.
Launch your Company
Through our Startup Package, we take care of incorporation, corporate structuring, and nominee director setup so you can get started with confidence.
Protect your relationships and assets
As part of the Startup Package, we prepare founders agreements, employment contracts, and NDAs to secure your team, IP, and equity from day one.
Ensure operational readiness from the start
We bundle in basic accounting coordination and compliance setup with your Startup Package so you're ready for investors and regulatory scrutiny.
Embed legal expertise directly into your business
Our Legal Secondments place experienced legal consultants inside your operations, acting like internal counsel while remaining fully flexible.
Support your day to day legal needs
With Legal Secondments, we help manage contracts, negotiations, and compliance tasks—seamlessly integrated into your workflow.
Scale your legal resources as your company grows
Whether you need support once a week or full coverage during critical phases, our FGC model adjusts with your growth, powered by either the Startup Package or Legal Secondments.
Your legal gaps, filled with clarity and speed
Setting Up Organized, Investor Ready Operations
We organize your incorporation, directorship, and accounting basics so you’re ready for growth, investment, and due diligence, no last minute scrambling required on your corporate structuring.
Getting Legal Work Done Without Hiring Full Time
From reviewing contracts to managing compliance, we plug experienced legal consultants into your business, giving you in house coverage without the cost or delay of building a legal team.
Hidden Legal Risks Threatening Your Future
Without startup legal support or embedded legal support, key issues around incorporation and fundraising often go unaddressed. These oversights can stall growth, and block critical business milestones.
Built for Startups and Scale-ups That Need Legal to Keep Up
From getting incorporated and investor ready to embedding legal support in your daily operations, we help fast-moving teams stay protected and move faster with our Startup Package and Legal Secondments.
Founders Navigating the First Mile
You’re setting up your company, hiring your first team, and talking to investors. We help you get incorporated, accounting set up, nominee director in place. You will be protected, and operational.
Startups Preparing to Scale
Your legal needs are growing faster than your team. We provide strategic support across contracts, hiring, and compliance so you can scale without the burden of a full-time legal hire.
CEOs Handling Too Many Legal Tasks
You’re stretched thin managing agreements, governance, and risk. We act as your legal function, prioritizing and executing across all your legal workstreams.
Lean Legal Teams Needing Senior Help
Your team is strong but overextended, or missing specialties like fintech, crypto, or Web3. We plug in senior legal support to handle complex issues and lift the load.
